Because we love to show you the real Paris, the one we experience every day, the team at AIJ Paris is excited to share this week’s favorite spots. Unique restaurants, hidden gems, must-see exhibitions… here’s what excites us right now — and what we wholeheartedly recommend!
🍽️ Our favorite restaurant: Les Cuistots Migrateurs (10th arrondissement)
A delicious solidarity canteen where the chefs are refugee cooks. Each dish is an invitation to travel: Syria, Iran, Chad, Sri Lanka…
⭐ Youssef’s favorite: “I go there whenever I want to eat well and support a human project.”
🌿 The unexpected nature spot: La Petite Ceinture (12th/14th/15th/20th arrondissements)
An old abandoned railway line transformed into an eco-friendly urban promenade. Perfect for a peaceful stroll among tracks, wild nature, and street art.
🚶 Ideal for taking a break from the Parisian hustle (and capturing beautiful photos!)
🎨 The unmissable exhibition: “Paris au Cinéma” at the Cinémathèque Française
An immersive journey into the relationship between Paris and cinema. Iconic posters, cult extracts, behind-the-scenes secrets…
🎟️ Reduced rates for students and those under 26.
🛍️ The local artisan shop: Empreintes (3rd arrondissement)
A bright concept store dedicated to French arts and crafts: jewelry, ceramics, stationery… Everything is handmade and often eco-friendly.
🎁 Ideal for bringing home an authentic and responsible souvenir from Paris.
🍷 The drink of the moment: Hidden terrace of MOB House in Saint-Ouen
A peaceful rooftop with a shared garden, relaxed vibe, and organic products.
